The Braves continued their winning ways on a rainy night in Washington D.C., beating the Nationals by a score of 9-5. The winning streak now stands at 12.
Unfortunately, it was not all good news for the Braves on Monday night. Ozzie Albies fractured his left foot on an awkward swing in the fifth and immediately left the game. We should have more information on his long-term prognosis tomorrow. Orlando Arcia replaced Albies at second and figures to be the club’s primary option in the coming weeks/months.
Following a 1.5 hour rain delay, the Braves wasted little time getting the offense going against spot starter Erasmo Ramirez.
